The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Autor F. Scott Fitzgeralden Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 apr 2027
The Bridal Party is set in 1930s Paris. Mike, a young American, reluctantly attends the wedding festivities of Caroline, the woman he is still in love with. Will she change her mind when she learns that Mike has now come into money? Over in Baltimore, a couple are taken back as they realise there is something bizarre about their newborn baby. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tells a life story like no other. And Love in the Night sketches the whirlwind love shared between a young man from a wealthy Russian family, and the older married woman who he briefly meets and will never quite forget.

Notă biografică
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was born in St Paul, Minnesota. At Princeton University he decided to become a writer, leaving without graduating in 1917 to join the army as America entered the First World War. Believing he would be killed at the front, he hurriedly wrote the novel that would become This Side of Paradise, which was published in 1920 to great acclaim. He married Zelda Sayre and they embarked on an extravagant lifestyle in New York. Their marriage was blighted by alcoholism, mental illness and financial strife. Fitzgerald subsequently wrote The Beautiful and Damned (1922), The Great Gatsby (1925) and Tender is the Night (1934). Fitzgerald died aged forty-four and is regarded as one of America's greatest and most influential writers.
